anybody else prefers a list of programs under DVR? (instead of thumbnails)

I'm new to the Hopper/Joey scene. So far, I'm loving almost everything.
However, I can't stand the thumbnail-view when I want to see my
recorded programs. I'd rather see a text list. This can't be that hard
to program, right? (kind of like the list/detail/icon/thumbnail view
option in Windows)

list/detail/icon/thumbnail view option, with additional options to sort by original air date, date recorded, and episode number for the list within a program folder. While we're asking for pie in the sky, might as well also request the ability to create arbitrarily named folders and transfer/filter programs of your choice into them. For example, one folder called "Crime" which holds all your CSI, Law & Order, NCIS shows regardless of the actual name of the series.

I don't mind the Deleted Recordings one because it is at the end. But is there any way to put the Rentals one at the end or get rid of it (we don't rent movies from Dish)? Dish should be smart enough to know if there are no rentals then don't display it at all!

Absolutely!!! I'm new to Dish, and was hoping to find an option to switch to a list.

Use folders by name, sorted by DVR date (or alpha) and each icon will lead to a list, which you can sort by episode number. You will get used to it quickly and never want to go back. A list would typically show about the same number of items as are shown with the icons - no gain there.

Thanks. That's the way I have it now. I would still prefer a list, and I don't see any reason why that couldn't be another option.
